Abstract

Il presente contributo illustra uno studio condotto per la città di Nagara in Giappone mirato a verificare l’impiego delle architetture mobili off-grid (MOA) per incrementare la resilienza delle comunità rurali entro il 2050. Per fronteggiare gli effetti dei cambiamenti climatici che hanno influenzato pesantemente le vite umane e gli ecosistemi naturali, per contrastare l’invecchiamento della popolazione, la migrazione verso i centri urbani più grandi e l’inefficienza delle infrastrutture ormai obsolete, le aree rurali giapponesi devono aumentare la propria resilienza per garantire una continuità antropica nei loro territori. In questo contesto, gli autori propongono una soluzione MOA sviluppata in base alla letteratura sull’argomento e a un questionario rivolto a governo locale e aziende, utilizzando un approccio deduttivo per determinarne la fattibilità. I risultati del progetto sperimentale suggeriscono che il MOA potrebbe essere utilizzato per vari scopi, tra cui l’educazione sociale e lo sviluppo della comunità rurale, anche se la fattibilità deve ancora essere confermata in relazione alle criticità rappresentate dal peso e dal costo dell’architettura mobile.
